Hey so my girlfriend is looking for a new laptop, she is in university so she is looking for something thin and light with decent battery life that she can take to class. She would like to keep it under $700 but would be willing to go up to $800. I told her it would be tough but she just said to do the best I can.

So far I have been looking at the Lenovo U310 (Ultrabook) found it for $699 at Lenovo's website.

The battery life on them apparently is decent and they get pretty good reviews (what more could you want from a $699 ultrabook) but I am wondering if there are any options I have overlooked... What do you guys think?

Edit: It will be for the normal university thing, internet research and writing papers. An HDMI port is a necessity.
